| 167676 | 2003-08-14 06:06:00 | Hi Just wondering if anybody knew if modems can acutally work correctly with call waiting, as in do some modems actually recognise the call waiting tone and disconnect, letting your phone ring? If so do you need some sought of software to aid this? I am looking at buying an internet call waiting device, but they are quite expensive. Thanks |

There is a modem protocol (V92) supported by many new modems but unfortunately by few ISPs, that is supposed to allow modem connections to be "parked" while a call is taken. There was a thread on this today, have a search for it. |

| 167680 | 2003-08-14 08:37:00 | Yes but how do you 'enable' it? | promethius (1998) | ||
